Today was the eclipse! From our deck in West Linn, Oregon, we had 99.2% obscuration. Not bad!


We also watched the eclipse watchers down at the park behind our house. This was at totality, which means the sun is super strong! Even with 99.2% obscuration, it didn’t get that dark.

I’m basically a Crayola markers kind of guy, but I was intrigued by the idea of painting the other day. I didn’t bother putting much down on paper, but had fun painting myself!

I’m pretty sure I impressed Nana and Papa with m’ singing pipes.

As it got closer to Nana and Papa’s departure, I had to start shedding the clothing layers. (Shhh…don’t tell them, but as soon as they left, the undies came off, too.)

Mommy chose a peach cobbler for her birthday treat, but we got a li’l symbolic birthday cake for the candles. Each candle represents a decade!

I’m starting to warm up to this whole “wearing underwear / not being totally nudie” thing.
